Curriculum Press is one of the UK's leading publishers of A-level educational resources, used by thousands of schools and colleges across the UK. As we expand our use of AI and develop new student-focused products, we are looking for talented undergraduate or postgraduate science students to join us on a range of flexible projects.
Projects typically last between one and eight weeks, with the possibility of further paid work for exceptional candidates. Work can be carried out remotely, from your university campus or from our office in Skipton.
The Role
This is much more than an administrative role. You'll work alongside experienced editors and authors, helping create and develop high-quality learning resources used by thousands of A-level students. Projects may include:
- Using AI to support editorial review, content development and quality assurance.
- Identifying trends in examination questions and helping develop AI-assisted mock examination papers.
- Contributing to student-facing Exam Packs, including Factsheets, specimen questions, mark schemes and Exam Dr PowerPoints.
- Creating blogs, short videos and social media content for A-level students.
- Supporting student engagement through platforms such as TikTok, Instagram and The Student Room.
- Reviewing educational resources for scientific accuracy, specification coverage and clarity.
- Undertaking educational research, competitor analysis and briefing reports for the Directors.
Unlike many student jobs, you'll be trusted with meaningful work from day one and will make a genuine contribution to resources used by schools and colleges throughout the UK.
Essential
- Currently studying (or recently graduated in) Biology, Chemistry, Physics or a closely related science. Applications from second-year, final-year and postgraduate students are particularly welcome.
- Excellent attention to detail.
- Excellent written English.
- Strong analytical and critical-thinking skills.
- An interest in using AI tools (such as ChatGPT) to improve productivity and content quality.
- Good working knowledge of Microsoft Office, particularly Word and PowerPoint.
- Ability to work independently and as part of a small team.
Why Join Us?
You'll gain practical experience in educational publishing, AI-assisted content development, science communication and digital marketing, while working on projects that directly support A-level students. The role offers genuine responsibility, flexibility around your studies and the opportunity to make a visible contribution to a growing educational publisher. For exceptional candidates, there may be opportunities for additional project work and, as Curriculum Press continues to expand, part-time or full-time employment.
Remuneration £15 per hour, with flexibility according to experience and project responsibilities.
Selection Process
Selection will include a short practical exercise reviewing an A-level educational resource. We welcome applications from enthusiastic science students who enjoy learning, solving problems and making a real contribution to educational publishing. Please send brief covering letter and current CV to kevin@curriculum-press.co.uk FAO Kevin.
